Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Thor cuts his hair in the comics, so I don't really see a problem with it for the movies.

Yeah and they made Thor a female there too, doesn't mean it's a good idea. Too many writers and artists have done horrible things to characters over the years. I think a few of us are just sentimentally attached to the classic Asgardian look for the Viking's god of thunder. If you're going to change the look and even the weapons(!?) why not just invent a whole new character?

Legion is so freaking weird... I finally finished it the other day, but man it's strange.

I've never seen anything like it -as a TV show anyway. It was like an 8-hour trip mixing both acid and mescalin!!! If David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick and Akira Kurosawa would have made something together, it would heve looked like this. Some of the shots were incredible, very artistic and creative.

I read the original comics back when the character debuted (New Mutants #26-28 by Claremont and Sienkewicz) and reread them when the TV series started. They are very surreal too, happening largely in the astral plane or David's mind, and they broke ground with a new and weird art style. In that sense, the TV show was true to the spirit of the comics, though the plot was totally different.

Dark Phoenix confirmed after X-Men: Apocalypse

The Dark Phoenix will rise again. After reports circulated over the plot for the X-Men: Apocalypse sequel, 20th Century Fox confirmed that the franchise will be revisiting Jean Grey’s iconic story line next year.

On Saturday, the studio announced new release dates for the next installments of the X-Men cinematic universe: Josh Boone’s New Mutants is scheduled for April 13, 2018, Deadpool 2 will now bow June 1, 2018, and Dark Phoenix will hit theaters on November 2, 2018.

The Dark Phoenix has already been seen on screen in 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand, adapting the comic book arc that sees Jean Grey imbued with the Phoenix Force and unleashing her untamable telekinetic abilities on the world. Director Bryan Singer, who helmed 2000’s X-Men and 2003’s X2, expressed his regret for not closing out his envisioned trilogy; he passed the director’s seat to Brett Ratner in order to direct Superman Returns, but The Last Stand remains one of the most poorly received installments of the franchise.

“I like finishing things. I like finishing this particular iteration,” Singer told Fandango in 2016. “I know X-Men 3 was quite rushed and I didn’t complete it, and I felt a little like it was probably my responsibility to do that as a filmmaker, and I didn’t.” But with X-Men: Days of Future Past came a new, edited timeline that Singer teased would “fix s—” in the cinematic universe.

Sophie Turner now portrays Jean, and X-Men: Apocalypse gave her an unmissable fiery moment that’s poised to continue in a new introduction for the Phoenix. Earlier reports claimed the film would bear the title X-Men: Supernova, but its new release features a clearer tie to the comic book arc.

Writer-producer Simon Kinberg confirmed to /Film that Supernova was the “code name.” He added the film is currently “in early stages of prep” and he’s “interested” in directing.

“I definitely would love to take another stab at the Dark Phoenix story,” Kinberg previously told EW. Turner further explained, “The seeds of Phoenix definitely are planted in [Apocalypse]. She can’t control her powers unless she either fully stops them or lets them all loose, and that’s kind of Phoenix. I think in future movies to come we’ll definitely see a bit more of that.”

As for New Mutants, Boone, who helmed The Fault In the Stars, promised a “YA vibe” with “familiar faces.”

Actor Josh Brolin recently signed a four-film deal to play Cable, beginning with Deadpool 2. Ryan Reynolds returns as the Merc with the Mouth for the film, which will be directed by David Leitch. Zazie Beetz will also appear as Domino, while a teaser for Deadpool 2 was released in theaters with Logan.

First up, next April 13, we’ll get Josh Boone’s (The Fault in Our Stars) New Mutants, which seems more and more like the wild card of next year’s trio. A surprisingly small amount of info has been formally released about this film, though it’s seeming increasingly likely that we’ll see Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch, Split), Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars, Baby Driver) and Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) starring in the picture. Aside from director Boone hinting at the inclusion of mutants Wolfsbane (apparently played by Williams), Mirage, Cannonball, Sunspot, Magik and Warlock, we know little else about the movie at this point.
